Second group:
Round 1
Walking_dead vs Scorp

scorp (Dungeon, Gunnar, Gurnisson) def Walking_dead (Necro, Galthran) 160%, 121

No restarts were given. We spawned on the surface. Plenty of external dwellings, but I only took 1 Troglodyte (unguarded); there were external dwellings: Harpies (also unguarded), Evil Eye, and cats. All exits were guarded by archers; I picked 10-19 mages behind them there was conservatory. On turn 116 I took a secondary hero (elementals) and an external dwelling of air elementals, and cleared the entrance to the underground from 20-49 unupgraded golems, solely for the experience, but I didn't have enough moves to go in there. Next turn I dive in, and there's blue - I just barely didn't reach the castle, but Galthran (2 2 2 2) also didn't get into his fort on the next turn, instead he gave up the army and got himself sieged in town.
On turn 121 I storm the Stronghold:

Gurnisson 10 6 2 1 (without spellbook) 7 Evil Eyes, 4 Medusas, 5 Harpies, 12 Air Elementals, 30 upgraded Troglodytes and 30 regular ones

Fiur (defending) 3 1 1 1: 27 + 28 upgraded Skeletons, 4 Vampires and 6 or 7 Witches

I won, then immediately attacked Galthran - and that was it.

Thanks for the game.

I want to participate in a tournament; I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic for 9 years (starting with Heroes 1 through 5).
And is it necessary to arrange a game with someone in Heroes, or can I just launch the game, connect to the internet, and find a server?

I want to participate in the tournament. I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic for 9 years (starting with Heroes 1 through 5).
And do I absolutely have to arrange a game with someone for Heroes of Might and Magic? Or can I just log into the game, connect to the internet, and find some server?

Unfortunately, there are no more spots available in this tournament. But you can play in the regular seasonal championship for rating points, on a flexible schedule.

I confirm. Thanks for the game. Although I had a lot of troops at the start, all the monsters around me were fast and constantly killed my skeletons, and I couldn't find any creature logs. My opponent caught me off guard when I was two days' walk from the castle; there was nothing I could do, and my opponent probably found some artifacts somewhere. :smile34:

Hmm... posting reports on games played before the second pair has finished playing... that would reveal the strategy, wouldn't it?

Dear Vic, this was the second game ;)

During the first week, I miscalculated a bit and didn't have enough money for the Castle. On the second week, I reached the monster recruitment spot, quickly set up a ferry, and took them. The opponent crawled into the underground near my castle; I decided to head back toward the castle to collect dwarf mines and nagobanks. I took out the opponent unseen and went for more nagobanks... but for some reason, I forgot about them on the next turn, and I also forgot to stop by the secondary site :( and immediately charged into the "fat" (high-value area). As a result, there was no money for army ferries, and I was constantly losing units in battles. When I saw the Dragon Utopia, I decided to trade resources. I took 1, then discovered 2 nearby. By that time, practically nothing was left of my army except the monsters. After 2, only 9 monsters and 1 ogre mage remained. However, some money appeared; I bought back everything in my own town, put the monsters in the secondary site, and dragged them home for upgrades. Then the opponent appears and breaks through ГО. By buying heroes and using them to ferry the army, I managed to upgrade everything and bring all that was left to the main hero. Tazar, being a day's journey from the castle, decided not to capture my capital, and I reached him myself.
Result: Gretchen 21-19-21-12; 11 monsters, 1 ogre mage, about a hundred dogs and goblins, 13 thunderbirds, 55 orcs. Tazar 11-11-5-4; 66 lizards, 21 gorgons, 36 wyverns, 5 Vasya's and 3 flies. An explosion for 2800 on the first turn forced the opponent to surrender immediately.

When we loaded the save to finish the game, I realized that I had bought a scout in the wrong castle. A great chain of events turned into a mess. Troops were scattered, costing money and artifacts in different parts of the map, and Tazar spent 2 days doing useless things instead of attacking the Hive. The momentum was lost, and we needed to change the plan: not to rush, but to go for the Treasury. However, the information from the tavern kept suggesting a rush until the very last day(((, although what kind of rush is it on the 4th week? Thanks for the game and the experience.

Thank you for the game!

Since the opponent didn't save before the start of the turn, the judges restarted the map, and I got a hero who specializes in fighting Gnomes. But that's okay, I earned some money, bought 6 heroes, including two money-makers, and Turis visited the stables. On the second turn, Caitlin scouted a witch's hut – it contained logistics. Turis found a stash of archers, and on the third day, I upgraded and defeated 27 harpies and 25 fire elementals. On day 114, I found a stash of bears, had enough money, collected crystals, and the bears with the castle were definitely being built. The opponent conceded and didn't agree to an auto-battle.
Thanks for the game.

Decontaminator (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def Javdet (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Darkstorm) 2sm4d(3) 216
The save was passed at the end of day 1; judging by it, there were 2 native heroes, one of them Grechkin, and Dessa had already caught onto the tactics. Normal.
Week 1 results: 1-3, 5, 7 in the Castle, +1000 dwellings, tavern, market in the Conf secondary town.
Week 2 results: ogres, bird upgrade, Mage Guild, dwelling market, +1000, Mage Guild in the secondary town. Took a Pandora's box, got 60 gold goblins. Pace was weak, recovering funds.
Week 3 results: goblin and ogre upgrades at home, fireflies in the secondary town. Took 2 cons 1+3, own external dwelling of ruhs, 3 hives for 16 vivs, nagobank-three, Pandora's box for 10K experience, shackles, shield +4, sword +6, helmet +2, attack/defense ring.
Week 4 results: wolf and orc upgrades, +2000 dwellings, 1-7 in the Stronghold in the secondary town. Took another 3 hives, 2 Dragon Utopia for 3 and 1 Black Dragon, 2 Pandora's boxes for 5K money and 10K experience, a bunch of artifacts. Passed through the Conf respawn to the blue respawn.
On week 5, the empty blue capital was captured, where vivs are upgraded; the same for the blue Barbarian secondary town, where a bear was built and bought out. At 216 FF: Superiority in fighter stats, meat, and combat magic (explosion) brought victory to Dessa.
Thanks for the game and the experience.

Yeah, it's a group of deathwishers... as they say, it's not about winning, but about participating.
